Removing hardware using add/remove hardware in 2k

The events were in this order:

I removed 2 cards and added 1.

I went into add/remove hardware (which I never used in 2k before) to delete/remove instances of these cards.

Entries other than what I clicked on got removed. I thought it was a fuke so I continued to remove the other card.

Before I rebooted most of the hardware list in add/remove hardware was gone.

I rebooted and the new hardware wizard came up with all the missing hardware: highpoint controller, video card, network card, usb camera and I don't remember what else.

Anyone know what happened?

I thought I only clicked on one entry each time since it appears you can only remove one at a time anyway. I know I didn't click on the video card, usb camera, network card!
 
It would help if you told us what you were removing and adding as well as what your system set up is. Just an FYI: Its not necessary to remove the hardware, windows will recognize that on its own. If you're upgrading and are worried about the legacy drivers, those will be replaced when you install the new drivers...
 
A ISA audio card and a PCI modem that I wasn't using and adding a VA capture card.

If windows was suppose to remove these (which in the past never did completly in my experiance with 98SE & ME), why were they still there when I booted up after the change?

I'm running 2k w/sp2 with administartor rights.
